My latest obsession with color

This may sound strange but furniture usually tells me what color it’s meant to be. And, I usually have no problem deciding what to paint it. But, my latest project was a little different.

This armoire was the first piece of furniture the hubs and I bought together, almost 20 years ago. We bought it at Arhaus and paid a pretty penny. I really love it’s old, rustic style then and now. It’s served us well but the orange-y wood stain had to go. I was over it! Finally last week, after almost 2 years of contemplating what color, what color? It came to me go blue like your favorite pair of old dark blue jeans. So, I did.

A couple of thin dry brushed coats of Paint Couture’s Midnight Blue.

Topped with haphazard brushed strokes of Heritage Grey.

Then I let it dry and I roughed it up a bit with a sanding block. And finshed it off with AS dark and clear wax.

And, now I’m seriously obsessed with Midnight Blue.

How about you? A rich, deep blue. Are you into it, I’d love to hear.

Now click on the pics to get the details on my friend’s awesome furniture makeovers.

Therese I adore this piece! Love the orange peeking through the layers of blue and grey. What is it that pieces with an orange base turns even more orange over the years. We live in a neighborhood of cabins. So many start out with a soft log cabin color and then over a couple of years…they turn orange! I’m really loving the rustic tour. ~Jeanette

I love this. I had a similar hit about midnight blue, but for my bedroom ceiling. 🙂
I have a question for you about my first attempt at distressing a piece of furniture so I’m going to email you. Thanks!
